Ye Chenfeng reluctantly agreed to marry the two Queens of the God Race, Lan Yun and Xue Ningsi. A wedding banquet was quickly arranged, and despite his reservations, the ceremony proceeded. After the wedding, Ye Chenfeng discussed their future, and the Queens pledged to leave the God-Demon Realm with him to face his enemies. Inspired, Ye Chenfeng began considering establishing his own faction, potentially using the God Race as its foundation.

"I think you both are not fully prepared. I’ll go out for a walk alone," Ye Chenfeng said to Lan Yun and Xue Ningsi.

This time Lan Yun and Xue Ningsi didn’t say anything or stop him, they just watched Ye Chenfeng walk out of the room. Indeed, they weren’t fully prepared in their hearts!

After watching Ye Chenfeng’s figure disappear from sight, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Upon leaving the room, Ye Chenfeng wandered around. In the night sky hung an immensely huge moon.

With nothing better to do, when he wanted to take a look inside the small world, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a tall mountain to the south.

The mountain was quite far from here, and he saw a faint glow flickering at its peak, stirring an uncontrollable curiosity within him.

After pondering for two seconds, he quietly left for a distance, then directly headed towards the south, traversing through the air.

After traveling on air for about two hours, he finally arrived at the foot of the southern mountain.

The entire area surrounding the mountain restricted the power of flight, so Ye Chenfeng was unable to fly directly to the summit.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain...

He saw a massive black stone stele standing at the foot of the mountain, densely inscribed with characters.

The characters detailed the origin of the mountain.

This mountain was known as the Forbidden Land of Deities and Demons.

Once, before the God Race and the Demon Race had a falling out, it’s said that their ancestors jointly created a treasure. Later, rumors claimed that whoever obtained this treasure could rule both races, and this treasure was within the Forbidden Land of Deities and Demons.

The people of the God Race and Demon Race had tried more than once to enter the Forbidden Land, but they could at best reach the summit and were unable to enter the true Forbidden Land.

After roughly understanding the place from the stele, Ye Chenfeng developed an interest in the Forbidden Land of Deities and Demons.

The Demon Race was planning to launch an attack on the God Race on the day of Tun Tian, and if there was indeed a treasure in the Forbidden Land that could control both races, then this could be a solution to the crisis.

Although Ye Chenfeng was now at the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, he was unaware of the Demon Race’s combat power, and the Demon Race’s power would greatly increase on the day of Tun Tian.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chenfeng began to climb the mountain in front of him, unable to use the power of flight, he could only climb step by step.

Initially, Ye Chenfeng didn’t feel anything special about the mountain. As a strong cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, even if he couldn’t fly, his speed was still extremely fast.

Seeing that he was halfway up the mountain in an instant, wanting to reach the summit in one go...

Suddenly, the space around Ye Chenfeng distorted, his vision blurred briefly, and when it cleared, he found himself inexplicably back at the foot of the mountain? This was truly bizarre.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were filled with a serious expression, carefully sensing the mountain before him, but he still couldn’t perceive anything special.

Therefore, he began to climb once more, but when he reached halfway up the mountain, the space around him distorted again, and he was back at the foot of the mountain.

What on earth was happening?

Ye Chenfeng’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter as he tried climbing with his eyes closed, once again reaching halfway up the mountain.

Closing his eyes was useless, he could still feel the surrounding space twist, and when he opened his eyes, he was indeed back at the foot of the mountain.

If this continued, he would never reach the summit, let alone enter the Forbidden Land of Deities and Demons.

Ye Chenfeng was unwilling to be defeated by this oddity, trying again and again, but each time he returned to the foot of the mountain.

With each attempt, he carefully sensed the changes around him. After so many times, he could ascertain that it was a kind of illusion. As long as you were conscious, you’d fall into this trap.

After roughly figuring it out, Ye Chenfeng closed his eyes and slowly emptied his mind. Then, like a puppet on strings, his body slightly stiff, he climbed towards the mountain summit.

He had entered an Ethereal State, a perfect state used for cultivation, where he could feel nothing of the outside world.

Of course, this state wasn’t something anyone could easily enter, but for Ye Chenfeng, it wasn’t too difficult, after all, his skills and capabilities were beyond ordinary cultivators.

After entering the Ethereal State...

Ye Chenfeng couldn’t feel anything from outside, so naturally, he wouldn’t fall into the trap again.

When he climbed halfway up the mountain again, the space around him distorted, but it had no effect on him now, he mechanically continued climbing upwards.

After a while...

Ye Chenfeng emerged from the Ethereal State, and by then he had reached the mountain summit.

The summit was spacious, with a cave standing on it.

Embedded at the top of this cave was a large, white, transparent stone. The glow Ye Chenfeng had seen earlier must have come from this stone.

This cave was surely the entrance to the Forbidden Land of Deities and Demons.

Standing at the cave entrance, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t sense anything inside. Having come this far, wouldn’t it be a shame not to take a look inside!

With a decision made in his heart, Ye Chenfeng began to step towards the cave entrance.

As soon as he stepped inside the entrance...

"Thump thump thump thump thump!" sounds continuously echoed as the initially dark cave illuminated with a series of soft lights.

The cave contained a bottomless passage, and these lights emanated from a kind of blue crystal stone on the stone walls on either side of the passage.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t immediately take a second step, because he observed that each step he took triggered a corresponding formation on the stone wall to his right.

If Ye Chenfeng’s guess was correct, then he had to break a corresponding formation before each step.

The passage was incredibly deep, who knew how long it extended?

If each step required breaking a formation, then how many formations had to be broken? It seemed reaching the deepest part of the Forbidden Land wasn’t going to be easy.

No wonder no one from the God Race or Demon Race could enter the Forbidden Land, as the formations must become increasingly complex the further in you go.

It would be almost impossible for one person to break so many formations.

Besides, what if he made a mistake while breaking them?

Ye Chenfeng gazed at the long passage before him, truly intrigued by the deepest part of the Forbidden Land.

So, after much deliberation, he decided he was ready to take on the challenge.

Ye Chenfeng eyed the formation on the stone wall to his right. Initially, these formations were mere child’s play to him, and he broke them with ease, then proceeded step by step forward.
